IMPROVED ('JLOTHES-DRIER.

V Thechedulerreferred tov in theseiLetters Patent `and making paxtof the same.

To all whom it may concern:

' Beit known that I, HAavEyBosWoa'rn, of Cham-- fplain, in the county of Clinton and-liu the State of New York,lhave invented certain new and useful Improvements in Clothes-Racks; and do hereby declare vthat the followiugis a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon, in which drawing-1- l Figure 1 is `a front elevation of oneofthc modifications of` my. device;

- Figure 2 is afront elevation of another ruodcationf ofthe same; and` Figure 3 is a side'e'levaton of each modification of the same. a

Letters of like kind denote like partsin eacl'r fignre. M

`The object of this invention relates to the construction lof a clothes-rack forconvenient use in a house, Vso arranged that it maybe pivoted at its bottom to the wall of a roomand inclined for useat any desirable angle and there secured, or may be folded closely against the wall ont-of the way, and there kept in place; and consstsiu the peculiar construction ofthe clothes-rack, the manner in which it issecured tothe wall of aroonnand in themethod `ol" adjusting and securingr it atany desirable distance from `said wall. In the'drawing-f-V i l `A and B represent two modifationsof the clothesrack, and i O, the wall to which they areattached.

desired distance apart, and l `b arc rounds, arranged parallel to each. other, connecting the side pieces and passing through them,`of

` size ofthe rack.

\ which rounds as many maybe used as required by the These roundsproject little beyond the side pieces 'von one side, and are there furnished with heads c, having a grooved neck;

` `The bottom ot" each side piece has also a Imola-d,

pivoted into ast-aple driven into the wall ofthe room i at any convenient point. f

Another staple, e, is driven into the wall ata point opposite the top center of the rack, as it would be when pivoted and pressed against the' wall.

' A cord, f, attached to the staple e, passes through an eye, g, attached to the under centerof the top round, and thence along under said round out through the side piece which has the heads c upon it, and terminates in a ring, 7l.. The objectof said cord is to draw said rack up closely to said Wall, or to allow it to drop i away from said wall any desired distance, and in either case to secure it in position by' placing the ring hover one of the heads c'.- g

The' rack B diers from the rack A, in having top and bottom pieces as well as side pieces all framed-to-v gether, and, instead of rounds, having a cord, la, passed through the sides, and from side to side across in parallel lines, as closely as desired.

It also diiersin tliehaul-up cord f, in having a hook at its end instead of a ring, by the use of which hook, passed over any one ofthe cords k, this rack is held in position. a

The advantages of my rack consist in cheapness g What I claim as new, and desirc to secure byLetters Patent, is-

i `A is a rack made in the usual form, `with two side pieces, a, arranged parallel to each other at' any* rlhe11ereinbefore-described clothes-rack A, consisting 'of the side pieces af, connectedtogether by means `of'the rounds l), the cord f, the ring h, and the heads c, all constructed and arranged substantially as` and for the purpose shown. Y l

In testimony that VI claim the foregoing, I have hereunto set my hand this 26th day of March,'1869. y Y HARVEY BOSWORTH. y Witnesses:
